This docent-led talk will explore the work of some of the most prominent Northern Renaissance painters who were active primarily in the cities of Bruges and Ghent during the 15th and 16th centuries. For example, the brilliant Jan van Eyck was one of the most prominent artists in Bruges during the 15th century. His contributions to European art were many, including the perfection of the use of oil paint and his minutely realistic depictions of surface effects and natural light. His successor, Petrus Christus was known to have introduced single point perspective. Other Northern artists such as Rogier van der Weyden and Robert Campin helped shape Northern Renaissance art through their close observations and meticulously detailed depictions of human figures and their surroundings. The typical subject matter of the Flemish School was often religious in nature, but small beautifully executed portraits were also common. The Timken Museum is fortunate to have paintings by three of the most significant Flemish/Netherlandish painters such as Pieter Brueghel the Elder, Petrus Christus, and Pieter Claeissens the Elder. Their works and that of many prominent Flemish artists will be highlighted in this docent-led talk. This is a Zoom and Facebook Live event. Everything is hosted online and free.

The only way to start your Cinco De Mayo celebration in 2024! Bill Caballero is a Barrio Logan treasure. And for the first time you will be able to hear this great Latin Jazz trumpeter in Encinitas. He’s bringing his whole ensemble and he’s going to blow us away. When you listen to Bill you’ll hear the most real musician in the business. In his own words: “I was exposed to Latin Jazz while obtaining my degree at Cornish School of the Arts by drummer Jerry Granelli and was surprised at how naturally it came to me. I felt it. Since then, I am most comfortable in this particular genre of jazz. As time has gone by, I have tweaked the term Latin Jazz to Homey Jazz. I did so because I realized that the majority of my audience is brown smiling faces and I am well received by them. The moniker Latin Jazz didn’t seem to quite fit my particular audience because in my world they were my homeys. You see, Latin Jazz has many subplots and while I identify with Mongo Santamaria and Poncho Sanchez, I was seeing that Latin Jazz was being applied to a much more intricate form that seemed to be more be-bopish than Latin. Again, I looked at my audience and saw that neither they nor I were into that complex a music. We were more into the groove than the mental aptitude test of the more complex forms Latin Jazz was taking. So now I play a combination of the aforementioned greats with some funk and old Latin standards thrown in for good measure.” For more information visit: encinitaslibfriends.org Stay Connected on Instagram
